Game Changers unique take on effects pedals.
Game Changer Audio is a truly unique company that specialises in creating innovative and original guitar effects pedals that push the boundaries of traditional guitar sound. Born from the Rockabilly scene in Latvia in 2015, Game Changer Audio quickly made a name for itself by introducing unique and groundbreaking designs that have earned stellar praise from guitarists around the world.
One of the most popular (and the first one they released) pedals from Game Changer Audio is the Plus Pedal, which was released in 2018. This was the pedal idea that the founders bonded over in a Riga cafe and became the beginnings of Game Changer. The Plus Pedal is a sustain pedal that allows guitarists to sustain notes and chords indefinitely, creating a wall of sound that can be used for ambient and experimental music. The pedal uses a unique algorithm that captures and sustains the sound of the guitar in real-time, allowing guitarists to create complex textures and soundscapes with ease.
The original and still a brilliant way to play with sustain.
After the success of the Plus Pedal the good people at Game changer looked to new frontiers and after being inspired by a bug zapper in America, they began work on the Plasma Pedal, the worlds first analog distortion circuit. The Plasma Pedal, which was introduced in 2019, uses high-voltage discharge to create a unique distortion effect that is unlike anything else on the market. The pedal uses a gas-filled tube to create a plasma field that reacts to the input signal from the guitar, creating a powerful and dynamic sound that can be used for a wide range of musical styles. Like a super sexy sonic Tesla Coil.
Everyone know playing with electricity is fun...
Never a company to rest and enjoy past successes, Game Changer Audio has also introduced several other innovative designs, including the wild Light Pedal and another world first, the Motor Synth. The LIGHT Pedal combines all the best features of a classic spring reverb with an innovative infrared optical sensor system and a unique effects section. Create countless new types of reverb textures that were never before even possible. MOTOR Synth is based on a unique motor oscillator engine, which is a system of eight electro-motors that are able to instantly and precisely change their rotation speed in order to produce musical notes. Absolutely crazy eh? Because of the distinct way the motors create wave shapes, MOTOR Synth's sound is certainly in a category of its own. However, the comprehensive sound-shaping features developed by Game Changers engineers, let you recreate classic synth sounds and even real instruments.
Wildly cool developments in sonic exploration.....
Game Changer Audio's pedals and products have been praised by guitarists and music critics alike for their innovative, forward-thinking designs and high-quality sound. They have continued to push boundries with their Bigsby Pedal (The BIGSBY Pedal is a revolutionary polyphonic pitch shifter pedal that is able to reproduce the string bending and vibrato effects produced by the BIGSBY Tremolo arm and other traditional tremolo systems....) and the Plasma Coil, developed in conjunction with Jack White and Third Man Records. Unsurprisingly, the company has received several awards for its products, including the Best Guitar Effects Pedal award at the 2019 NAMM Show.
Overall, Game Changer Audio is a company that is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional guitar sound and creating unique and innovative designs that inspire guitarists around the world. With a commitment to quality and breakthrough change, Game Changer Audio is sure to continue making waves in the world of guitar effects pedals for years to come.
